Baptisms/Christernings at St Marys Rawmarsh.

Monthly. Every Second Sunday at for 1 hour
St Mary the Virgin, Rawmarsh with Parkgate
High Street Rawmarsh Rotherham, S62 6LT, United Kingdom

Our baptism services are typically offered at 12-noon on the 2nd Sunday of each month.

If you'd like to go ahead, we will need to fill out an application form together. This can be done if you would like to join us for a 10.30 Sunday morning service, when our minister is next leading a service. If you would like to get in touch we can advise you when that would be. Following the service we could go through the details together, over a coffee and discuss possible dates.

You will then be invited to attend a preparation evening before the actual baptism service. These are usually held at 7pm on the first Tuesday of the month in the church hall.

You will need to think about church ‘connections’, especially if you don’t live in the parish; You can check if you live in the parish by entering your postcode into this website to see if your address is within the parish. You might also like to begin to think about who you’d like to choose as Godparents – the main thing to note is that Godparents need, themselves, to be baptised. It will probably be easier to address any questions or concerns in person.

Second Sunday of the Month. After attendance to a baptism preparation session.

St Mary the Virgin, Rawmarsh with Parkgate

Sunday services at St Mary’s are either a Communion Service or a Service of the Word. Both services start at 10:30am. We usually hold services in the church hall during the winter months as it is easier to heat this area on cold mornings. The services incorporate both modern worship songs and traditional hymns, plus Bible readings as set out in the lectionary, a time of confession and prayer. 

The whole service is displayed on a large projection screen including the songs and hymns so that paperwork and hymn books are not needed.

At both services we try to create a friendly and welcoming atmosphere where the congregation can gather to worship and participate if they wish in reading the lessons and leading the intercessions.
